Carl Barât debuts new solo album at Glastonbury headline show
Former Libertine also gets crowd moving by playing some old classics
By Alan Woodhouse 26th June 2010
Carl Barat premiered a host of songs from his forthcoming debut solo album at Glastonbury tonight (June 25), as he headlined the Leftfield stage.
Coming onstage smoking a cigarette and backed by a five-piece band made up of an electric guitarist, cellist, drummer and double bass player, Barât kicked off his set by playing two brand new songs – holding the audience’s attention as he did so.
He followed these by playing The Libertines‘ ‘The Man Who Would Be King’, which drew huge cheers from the packed tent, while later in the set Barât again referenced his first band when an audience member shouted for Pete Doherty.
“You what? You didn’t seriously ask that did you?” Barât asked. “Where’s Pete? Well, I don’t fucking know do I!”
Among the new songs Barât premiered was a new piano-based collaboration he’s been working on with Miike Snow‘s Andrew Wyatt, featuring a repetitive piano line and brooding vocals.
Singing many of his new songs without playing guitar, Barât also told the crowd “It’s a fucking honour to be here,” before going on to praise Billy Bragg who curated the Left Field tent tonight.
“Do I look like I’ve lost my faith in love and music?” he later asked the audience, referencing a lyric from The Libertines‘ ‘The Good Old Days’.
After a brief pause midway through the set due to a faulty guitar, Barât and his band launched into Dirty Pretty Things‘ single ‘Deadwood’, again inspiring a mass singalong from the crowd.
He also made reference to The Libertines‘ forthcoming reunion gigs at Reading And Leeds Festivals, saying: “You know I’ve got this festival coming up?”
After the Glastonbury crowd booed, he then said he’d give the crowd a treat, and launched into The Libertines‘ ‘Can’t Stand Me Now’.
‘Bang Bang You’re Dead’, meanwhile, saw Barât reunited with former Dirty Pretty Things guitarist Anthony Rossomando.
Carl Barat at Glastonbury: ‘I’m sending Pete Doherty a new song for The Libertines’
Libertines man also speaks about his new solo album
By Matt Wilkinson 28th June 2010
Carl Barat says that he has been writing new material to possibly play with The Libertines at their reunion gigs this summer.
The band have so far been quiet over whether they will write or record any new material together but, in a video interview at Glastonbury with NME, Barat said he’s currently got a new song in mind.
“We haven’t done any preparation yet, apart from being in touch,” Barat said of the band’s reunion plans. “I’m sending Pete a song, I must email that today – maybe we’ll do something with that.”

Barat added that he thinks the band’s Reading & Leeds Festival shows this August are “going to be great”, and also spoke of his new solo album, much of which he debuted at a gig at Worthy Farm’s Leftfield stage on Friday night (June 25).
“It feels totally different – essentially it’s a lot more selfish. It comes from the heart and it’s a different sound,” he explained.
